The project aims at the participation on the design, construction and scientific use of the MOSAIC spectrograph, to be installed at the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), the largest optical telescope ever planned, with a mirror of 39m in diameter, being installed in Chile. The excellent quality and future impact in the brazilian astronomical instrumentation and science is at a low cost as …
The present project focus on two aspects of the study of how elliptical galaxies evolve in different environments and as a function of the redshift: 1) Constraining, with unprecedented detail, the stellar IMF of massive, nearby, early-type galaxies, using new, extremely deep, proprietary spectroscopy obtained from the proposers with the VLT X-Shooter spectrograph; 2) Application of an alg…
Constraining almost 14 billion years of galaxy evolution from observations of galaxies as they are seen today is fraught with peril. Here we propose a program to extend galaxy evolution studies to infrared wavelengths and higher redshifts (larger lookback times) to consistently investigate galaxies and their environments over a significant time baseline. A major step will be the implement…
The goal of the present project is to engineering 2DPHOT, complementing the package with the required tools to process the large photometric data-sets provided by current and next-generation wide-field surveys. Specifically, we plan to fulfill the following tasks: bulge/disk decomposition; PSF modelling and database modeling for the SDSS and UKIDSS data being processed. During the visit w…

The study of how galaxies form and evolve over cosmic time is complex and remains an open topic within extragalactic astrophysics. The past decades have witnessed significant advancements in this field due to the acquisition of large quantities of high-quality data. Particularly at low redshifts, it is possible to have a reasonably clear picture that galaxies evolve through the growth of …
This project is focused on understanding how environmental mechanisms rule galaxy evolution, especially in galaxy clusters. Ram pressure stripping and starvation are pointed out as the main mechanism for star formation quenching in galaxies. However, other effects, such as tidal mass loss and galaxy-galaxy merger, may also play a fundamental role in shaping galaxy evolution. We aim to com…
We propose to study the astrophysical properties of galaxies that host Gravitational Wave (GW) events to determine if there are preferential environments for these phenomena. We will focus on neutron star mergers, which produce short Gamma-Ray Burst (sGRB) emission in addition to gravitational radiation. Our initial galaxy sample comprises 37 sGRB hosts, one of which is also a GW host can…

This project is focused on understanding how environmental mechanisms rule galaxy evolution, especially for central galaxies. We will use the observations from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) combined with galaxy classification from the Yang Catalog to investigate how central galaxy properties depend on different parameters, such as: host halo mass, stellar mass, number of satellite g…
